How many people tried to rob you today?

Just the two for me so far. One really convincing looking fake email from DVLA saying my vehicle is now untaxed due to a failed debit card payment and a link to pay by credit card. Quality detail about relationship with Swansea University etc. One not so good one about football tickets but obviously good personal data info.

No phone calls yet. I usually get to talk to an automated lady about this time with an interest in HMRC or the accident we were all in recently. Seems an awful lot of us were in that crash so it might be on the news. 😆

None so far, unless we count the cat.

None yet but the day is just beginning.

Spending the afternoon on the beach, so I’m expecting to be mugged by the parking ticket machine.

Afternoon sir. Can I have a close look at your watch?...

@great-big-stees said
Of course. Just ignore my gun.

Had a knock at the door this morning🤷‍♂️ Way to busy to even to get off the screen (not expecting anyone), who/whatever. I'll wait for the BBC 3rd party Crapita Twonk later this week😊

@Relentless-Red

A long-lost uncle in Nigeria says his third cousin twice removed left us both 5 million dollars. He says he doesn’t have a bank account, but he trusts me to share with him 50/50 if the money is deposited in mine. Fat chance.

@moonbus
India are a big culprit here Mr Bus, I've seen Anti Scammers on YouTube - all very amusing.

I once got a phone call the guy who could barely speak English, yes even worst than me says: We have a 10,000,000.00 dollars here registered to you and all we need is your bank account # to deposit the money. I told the guy I already had enough money and hung up!
